The Starting Line – Are You Feeling Patriotic This Tax Day?

By Doug Porter It’s time to pay up, people.  April 15 is tax day and Uncle Sam is looking for his dough. The IRS estimates that fifty million Americans (75% of whom will get refunds) will wait until the last minute to file their taxes this year.  The perceived agony of the tax paying process will dominate the news media scene today. Here in San Diego we have several flavors of tax protests scheduled for today. Tax evaders of the corporate kind will be the focus of the San Diego Light Brigade’s protest outside the Midway Post Office from 8 until 11pm this evening. Here’s the Facebook page for that demonstration. Our local Tea Party types are having at least two protests today.
